Teyana Taylor

Muti-hyphenate Teyana Taylor is a singer, dancer, choreographer, model and actor who stole her way into our hearts before semi-retiring from the music scene in 2022. (She felt undervalued by the industry after 15 years, she said.) Music's loss is Hollywood's gain, as Taylor, who has had roles in Lee Daniels' "Star," VH-1's "The Breaks" and Amazon Prime's "Coming 2 America," turned in a tour de force performance as a single mother who kidnaps her son out of foster care in the Sundance Film Festival Grand Jury Prize-winning film "A Thousand and One." In November, Femme It Forward named her among their second-annual Give Her FlowHERS honorees. Taylor is also being recognized with The Visionary Award that “highlights a multi-dimensional creative who is changing the game for the future of women in music.”
